Real Fast Indian Food

Summary: Some new combinations and flavors
Review: Positives: The recipes are very descriptively named, so one can
really get seduced into trying out a recipe! No extra-long list of ingredients.
She introduces common ingredients found in the american markets, that are not usually used in Indian cooking to create some interesting combinations.Ex: Brocolli and Red pepper raita,
Tuna burgers,Dill rice , Salmon in creamy sauce etc.

There is a section for microwave cooking.Lots of salads and veggie dishes that are totally new to indian food lovers are in here..

Drawback: Absolutely no pictures..so first time cooks and new Indian cooks, might not be happy.
It isn't fast cooking..but its cooking that's well worth the time. Preparing curry sauces beforehand is what makes her concept of cooking "fast" work.

However, I like to create a smaller version of her sauces and use it immediately. The madras curry sauce is great..makes your food look and taste like those served at the Indian restaurants..

Summary: Real Fast Indian Food by Mridula Baljekar
Review: This book is an excellent reference for formal Indian cooking.
It describes classic meals; for instance, Paneer Kabobs with dried prunes, Madras Fish Curry, Kaftas in Lentil Soup and
hundreds of other fine foods/recipes. This book would be
helpful if you were cooking for an Indian guest or family.
It would be useful for chefs and persons desiring to emulate
an international flavor in the recipes presented to guests.
